Joining the Guard, with some issues.

May 3rd, 2013, 09:30 PM

At 17, I joined the RA in 2007. I didn't finish OSUT, because I quit at about week 5. It was a terrible decision, and I've been trying to fix it for the past 5 years. So after much improving, physically and otherwise, I'm trying to get into the Guard. I live in Washington State, but I'm working with a recruiter just across the boarder in Idaho. It's my understanding that because I'm working with him, I'd be sent to his unit in Idaho, not to somewhere in Washington. However since I need a waiver to get in, and the Washington Guard is undermanned, would I have a better chance of getting in if I do all this in Washington?
